Nothing Clever Comes 2 Mind 4 A Title...

So this weekend wasn't the funnest at work. My sugar was in the 300 and 400s. Then Monday if I could get it under 300 I was happy. So basically I wasn't happy on Monday. It was really really high and thank the lord for my sister. If I hadn't have been able to sleep when I got home from work I don't know what I would have done. Monday night was my first Diabetic Support Group meeting at my hospital. I asked John to come with cause it was really important to me that he participate on some level as far as diabetic education goes. It was a little over an hour and he was bored. But I like to think that he did learn some important information. The funny thing was is that we were probably the youngest people under 60 there! hahahahaha....young kids now a days I tell you.



So after the meeting I asked John if he would go with me again because this meeting talked A LOT about type 2 diabetes and I have type 1. I think it would be even more informative for him. He did agree to. One more meeting. So we got home and about 30 minutes later I started to not feel so well. I took my sugar and it was 78. I drank some juice and boom. Quick fix.

Tuesday night same thing. Low drop in sugar in the evening and I fixed that with juice. About 15 minutes later I was good. Today, Wednesday, I took Damon swimming with me for our weekly swimming/exercises time. We swam for about 1hour and 30minutes. I swam some laps with Damon on my back. By the time we were leaving Damon was starving as was I and I started feeling shaky. Great I am driving my care and I am feeling gross. I take my sugar and it was 63! The lowest it has ever been for me. GRRRRRRRRRR! How can I go from being 400 to 63 so quickly! It just isn't fair. I take my meds, eat like I am suppose to, and exercise. I STILL CAN'T GET MY SUGARS UNDER CONTROL. So I pop a handful of M&Ms into my mouth that I had on me and I just wait a while until I am well enough to drive.

As I am driving I call my mom just to keep me alert. I am only a few miles from Wendy's and I figure I will feed him and get myself a grilled chicken sandwich and diet coke and just wait for the carbs to do its job. By the time I got to Wendy's my sugar was 187 and I was feeling a little weak. By the time I got home my sugar was well over 200.

Tonight after dinner I was shaky again and my sugar was 79. I drank little bit of juice and ate some popcorn. Now I sit with my lappy typing and I have a slight headache. I am sure that means that my sugar has shot up to 300. Oh my lordy bee I can't wait to go to bed tonight and sleep this headache off.

On a side note my nurse called me today to see how I was doing and get some BG readings. Over the phone she signed me up for a insulin pump training seminar for next Wednesday. I asked her, "By going to this seminar does that mean I am heading towards a pump?" She informed me that me going on the pump is my own choice and if I want it they can have that puppy hooked up to me in now time.



As scared as I am of the unknown...I am tired of these ups and downs. I am tired of feeling so crappy. If a pump will help regulate my numbers better....perhaps I will be heading towards a pump soon. We shall find out more next Wednesday. I wonder if I could get a pink pump to match my pink glucose monitor?!?!?!
